We have worked hard this past week to provide you with multiple interviews with Lou Dobbs for you to analyze and react to, and the trend is clear. The vast majority of ALIPAC supporters are upset with Dobbs' recent change in positions to support legalization for illegal aliens currently in the US after the "borders are secure."
We heard these same promises in 1986 and more recently on the lips of politicians like John McCain and Ted Kennedy. The last thing America needs is another politician trying to play both sides of the political border on the issue of illegal immigration and Amnesty.
Our internal polling shows over 70% of ALIPAC's supporters are upset with the recent comments of Lou Dobbs.
We have received so many demands that we remove our support for Dobbs, that we are making that announcement today.
We want all of our supporters to note that we did not rush this decision, and that we made this decision only as a last resort and after taking the time to hear from our supporters.
Our goal at ALIPAC is to provide YOU with the kind of representation you are NOT currently receiving from the sellouts in Washington, D.C.
Our loyalties are to our supporters and the American public, both of which are highly unified in opposition to illegal immigration and any path to citizenship for illegal aliens in the U.S.
Dobbs is destroying any chances he may have had for a successful run for public office.
The perception is that he is surrendering and capitulating to the pro-Amnesty groups and why he is doing this, we don't know. We cannot judge his heart, only his actions.
The pro-amnesty groups were already celebrating their perceived victory regarding his departure from CNN after months or organized campaigns to remove him. This news, followed by his report of gunfire striking his home after weeks of death threats from pro-amnesty individuals, gives the impression he is responding to their pressures.
We have spoken with Mr. Dobbs directly about this and are very concerned that his perceived capitulation will embolden illegal alien supporters to apply the pressures of attacking people's employment, homes, and families.
The recent actions of Dobbs may have increased the risks of attacks on other Americans who truly speak out against Amnesty and the risks that Amnesty legislation will pass in 2010.
ALIPAC will never 'compromise' as Dobbs suggests on the issue of citizenship for illegal aliens. America has been comprimised enough already and there is no room for any further capitulation or surrender.
Americans are looking for true, clear, and strong leadership to represent them. Many of us thought we have found that in Dobbs and it is painful to come to the realization we were wrong.
Out of concern for our supporters and our cause, along with our respect for all of Dobbs's prior contributions to our cause, we have taken the time to proceed cautiously, respectfully, and deliberately on this issue.
A press release is being sent out nationally to inform all parties and we are notifying our allied groups and leaders along with our now over 30,000 national supporters.
We apologize to our supporters for being wrong about Dobbs. ALIPAC's mission is to accurately inform voters of which candidates stand with their views on immigration issues. This is a tough job and many candidates intentionally make our job tougher. We are glad that in the case of Dobbs, we were able to get our hands on this information before he filed to run.
If Dobbs continues to be an advocate for any form of Amnesty on his radio show or future interviews, we will consider more measures in opposition to his efforts.
For now, we plan to drop our support and hopefully put this painful episode behind us.
We remain resolute in our intentions to defeat Amnesty and reverse illegal immigration in America.
We reject Mr. Dobbs's offer for us to sit at the table with groups like La Raza or MALDEF to negotiate or compromise on Amnesty. These are racist anti-American groups that we will not legitimize with our presence. We envision a future where the borders and rule of law are both re-established in America and groups like La Raza are reduced to the contemporary status of the American communists, Nazis, and the KKK!
We do not need leadership from someone like Dobbs or anyone else like him, because our model is that the American people should lead and the politicians and media pundits should follow us!
We don't follow leaders! Leaders follow We The People!
If that is the case, you can see future drive by shootings, against those that oppose illegal aliens.
Corrupt criminal tactics work. Look at Mexico.....

........and, if such were to come to pass----------the reprisals (within the law or not) against Spanish speakers; even ones here legally will be ghastly.
Those ethnocentrist losers who do not seem to understand US history (racism) will be doomed to experience it the way things are going.
He realized he couldn't win an election with his former views on this issue. The anti-immigrant crowd don't make much of an impact when it comes to voting in elections.

Do I have to keep correcting you and your ilk constantly? There are no anti-"immigrant" crowds, only anti-illegal immigration advocates. Sorry to burst your bubble but Americans for the rule of law way outnumber the open borders, pro-amnesty, illegal invader advocates.
He lost all credibility, with either side of the debate. He is now just a nobody.
Agreed, and he wouldn't be able to be elected to dog catcher now. The pro-laws Americans have washed their hands of him and even the illegal alien advocates don't trust him after how he suddenly flip-flopped on this issue after years of exposing the negatives of illegal immigration and infuriating the ethnocentric racists. They haven't forgotten that and never will. If his intent is to get the Hispanic vote he made a serious error in judgement. Besides he is only advocating for a partial amnesty not a blanket one as the raza want. It will be all or nothing at all with them. You're toast with every one now, Lou.
